The Gopal Laboratory at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School is seeking a motivated individual for the position of Postdoctoral Research Fellow. This postdoctoral position is open to recent PhDs, MDs, or MD/PhDs with experience in immunology and molecular biology.

The driving goal of our laboratory is to define immune mechanisms in chronic inflammatory disorders and cancer, while working towards identifying novel biomarkers of disease and therapeutic interventions. We utilize gene targeting in mouse models of disease, clinical patient samples, and relevant cell culture systems to study the cellular and molecular basis of immune-mediated disorders. A major focus of the lab has been microRNA regulation of immune responses and RNA medicine in multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel diseases, and colorectal cancer. A candidate with a background and strong research interest in any of these areas is encouraged to apply. For more information, please see our lab website https://gopal.bwh.harvard.edu.
